October 13th EtsyBloggers Team Blog Carnival!
So I choose to write about what I do to relax. With 3 kids, there's really not much of that going on, LOL! So my relaxing time comes when the kids are asleep. Like now...see I'm getting my blog updated and no kids are pulling at me, so I can blog right along!
It's really nice =) but besides that, getting to take a shower by myself is always nice and relaxing. Getting to have a drink or two, while listening to some music, sending my friends MySpace comments or getting to watch a movie on TCM with no interruptions is also nice & relaxing! So as long as I get some quite time here & there though out my day, I'm good to go ;)

2008-10-02T13:04:00.000-07:00

I just thought I'd share with you how I came up with the name for my business.
I have 3 Beautiful children, who are the center of my Universe. I wanted something that reflected the Love, Happiness & Joy that they bring to my Life, so I thought of the 3 sweetest words that would describe each one!
My SUGAR is my only son Titan Oak because he IS Sweet as Sugar!
He makes me laugh, he says the cutest things like-"Mom, I just washed my arm pips in the bath~are you happy!?!", he's my social butterfly, little helper, loves his sisters SO much and is always up to giving and getting a little sugar (kisses) ;)
My ♥ Song to Titan: Loves Me Like A Rock~Paul Simon

My LOVE is my oldest daughter Lauren Taylor because not only is she my first born but because it was me and her ONLY for 12 years! I call her Sunshine because as a child she was always so happy, always able to roll with the punches and never one for letting things get her down for to long. She has such a forgiving,loving heart. Even though she's now a teenager! I can't complain, she has her moments but because of all we've been threw together, we have an extremely close bond.
In May of 2007, she was hit by a car and broke her femer and knee cap. She had a plate and 8 screws put in her leg and was unable to walk for 6 months. She had a 2nd surgery in April of 2008 to remove the hardware and is now on the JV Swim Team!!!
I'm Super Proud of this Girl =)
My ♥ Song To Lauren: Your Are The Sunshine Of My Life~Stevie Wonder

My HONEY is Salem Helena Zenna because she is my little darling, plumpers, fatty girl, baby cakes, sweet wonderful baby. She's so cuddle and tart at the same time. She's just a doll! So round and plump all over, like babies should be! She makes my Heart Sing! Best of All~She Loves to Dance and it makes me laugh with delight :D Just thinking about her makes my heart grin from ear to ear me, My Sweet Baby Girl ♥
My ♥ Song to Salem: Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey~Paul McCartney
Just this part of the song-
Live a little be a gypsy, get around(get around)
Get your feet up off the ground
Live a little, get around
Live a little be a gypsy, get around(get around)
Get your feet up off the ground
Live a little, get around

...so now you know ;)

What's for Dinner?

2008-09-30T17:26:00.000-07:00

Well, I'm not one for cooking, that's something my SO does and he's not feeling to hot, so dinner got left up to me!
So tonight it's Hamburger Helper Stroganoff (I mix in a can of corn), hey it makes a great meal, right?

But I will say I don't mind baking and this is only because the out come satisfies my sweet tooth cravings! I found this on the Food Network & decided this one for sure has to be kitchen tested! Smores Brownies

and finally to wash it all down, some Southern Sweet Tea (well maybe some milk too)

Bon Appetite!

Help Pass Senate Bill 1738—The PROTECT Our Children Act

2008-09-24T08:08:00.000-07:00

There is nothing more disturbing than I child predictor to me! I can't wrap my head around how someone can find a child, esp. BABIES, sexually interesting. This sickens me and after this show on Oprah, I felt I had to do my part to get the word out!
This may be harsh to some but may view is that these creeps don't deserve to have a Life!!!
The pain and psychological suffering a child has to endure for the REST OF HIS/HER LIFE is unfathomable to me...and most of the time the predator gets a little more than a slap on the wrist.
PLEASE take time to contact your Local Senator...Oprah has made this as simple as possible to do~just copy and paste the letter into your senator's web form at www.senate.gov!!!
from the Oprah Show~

"http://www.oprah.com/article/oprahshow/20080911_tows_predators

PLEASE Help Protect Our Children!!!
These Men are Monsters!!! READ THIS LINK ABOUT WHAT THESE MONSTERS ARE DOING!!! ESP TO BABIES WHO ARE ONLY MONTHS OLD!!!

Help Pass Senate Bill 1738—The PROTECT Our Children Act
Oprah
Hundreds of thousands of children are victims of sexual abuse each year. Due to the sheer lack of resources, law enforcement is unable to follow up on the majority of leads they have.

The PROTECT Our Children Act will:

* Authorize over $320 million over the next five years in desperately needed funding for law enforcement to investigate child exploitation.
* Mandate that child rescue be a top priority for law enforcement receiving federal funding.
* Allocate funds for high-tech computer software that can track down Internet predators.

Act Now!
Your U.S. senators will be voting on the bill soon, so it is crucial you contact them immediately.
Go to www.senate.gov to find contact information for the senators in your state. Search for your senator by name or state by clicking on the arrow from either dropdown menu. Contact information is provided here. To send an e-mail, click on "Web Form" below his or her name, and e-mail your letter to make a difference!

Call Your Senators
If you choose to contact your senators by phone, be sure to tell them, "Vote yes on Senate Bill 1738—The PROTECT Our Children Act."

☆ Write to Your Senators☆
If you choose to write a letter, fax, telegram or e-mail, you may use the following sample letter—and modify it how you see fit.

Dear Senator:

I know that you believe, like I do, that we must do everything possible to protect children from sexual predators. That is why I am asking for your help.

Last year alone, U.S. law enforcement identified over 300,000 criminals who were trafficking in movies and pictures of young children being raped and tortured. Experts say that one in every three of these criminals has local child victims. Child pornography trafficking over the Internet has given us a trail of evidence that leads straight to their doorsteps, but the vast majority of these children will never be rescued because investigators are overwhelmed, outnumbered and underfunded.

As your constituent, I urge you to do everything in your power to pass the PROTECT Our Children Act (S. 1738, Biden-Hatch). This bipartisan legislation passed the House 415-2, but it is now the victim of petty partisan politics.

Now that we know where these children are and how to protect them, there is no excuse for the Senate to fail to take action this session.

"Good Morning LolliGals!

I realize everyone is super busy w/family & work these days! I don't mean to pester or add to your possible hectic day. But, I wanted to share this true story w/all of you. It will tug on your Mommy heartstrings....we all have a Mom, are a Mom (even to the furry kind), a sister who is, a galpal who is, ect..... Please check out this blog:

http://auctionforcarol.blogspot.com/

It's a true story and for me it was and is heart wrenching. *The blog includes a Seattle TV news article also.*
http://www.komonews.com/home/video/28703094.html?video=pop&t=a

I realize many tragic events/incidents have take place these last months and that many are hurting and suffering everywhere....I try to help where I can and share the abundance (of items) I have to help raise $ to ease a little suffering.

I donated several items to the auction (you'll see)...."it's the least I can do!". 100% of the $ goes straight to paying for her skyrocketing medical care & family needs. I simply couldn't stop thinking about her the day I read about her plight and donated four items that very day. With so many wonderful & thoughtful women here, I thought that perhaps you may want to help too after reading her story. This is the lovely lady who started the auction and who to contact if you'd like to contribute, she can be reached here: ~ ericathur4@yahoo.com ~ Tell her Mia Bella Collection sent you! :)"

I was so moved by this story, I wanted to not only blog about it but I will also be donating items to the auction! I Hope this Inspires other Hearts as well =)
(((((HUG A MOTHER)))))
Thank You So Much Mia Bella Collections for sharing this Truly Touching Story!!!

Hello!

2008-08-19T22:13:00.000-07:00

So with school getting ready to start next Monday, it's been very busy around here! I had tons of FUN school shopping with my teenage daughter, can you imagen!?!
We actually have a really good mother-daughter relationship! I'm so Thankful she's a great kid!!! We have our differences every now and then but for the most part, we're pretty close! It's my number one priority it me a loving, open, firm but fair parent. My children are my everything and my relationship with them takes precedences over any thing else in my Life =)
This is going to be an exciting year for her, she was hit by a car May 2007 and was unable to walk for 6 months. She had just registered to be on the Summer Swim Team and was unable to take part due to the accident! She had a second surgery this past April to remove the plate & 8 screws she had in her leg & knee. She got the ok from her Doctor to be on the Swim team this Summer and she'll be trying out for the Jr Varsity High School Swim Team!!! I'm Super Proud of my Girl!!!
Speaking of which, my youngest, Salem, had her first gymnastics class & loved it! She was a little shy at first but having mom & dad there, gave her the reassurance she needed.
My son, Titan, has his first class tomorrow =) I'm betting he's going to love it too!
I've added new items to my shop and am in the process of adding more!
I've joined a New Craft Group here in the Collin County area~ The DFW Craft Makers & Sellers Meetup Group through MeetUp.com; we have a Make n Take and a few Fall Bizarres coming up that I'm real excited about!
I've also signed up to do a couple of swaps, one with Etsy Texas Crafters and one with LolliShops!
I've never done a swap before, so I'm really excited to take part in these!!!
It's getting late, so I'm going to say bye for now but I have more things coming up & I'll post about those tomorrow!
Good Night & Sweet Dreams =)

USA Gymnastics GOLD x2!!!

2008-08-14T22:44:00.000-07:00

I just can't contain myself!!! Did you see what I saw tonight?!? USA Gold, Again!!! Both gymnast~Carly Patterson & NOW Nastia Liukin!!! Both hail from North Tx and went to the WOGA gym in Plano (Frisco) Tx! I'm in Plano and the WOGA gym is in walking distance from my home! For some time now I've wanted to enroll my 2 littlest ones in gymnastics! Though I'd prefer my 18 month old to be a Rhythmic Gymnast but I'd really be happy with either one! I feel they will be naturals at this sport; father is Russian and I use to teach Ballroom dancing! I hope this is a winning combination! Okay, I know I'm getting a little ahead of myself but....this is where dreams start!!!
GO TEAM USA!!!
♥
Congratulations~Nastia Liukin =)

Located in Honolulu, Hawaii this shop has over 476 Sales! I really love the dresses, here are two of my favorite ones:

♥♥♥Happy Birthday Robin ♥♥♥

Good Morning Ya'll!!!

2008-08-08T07:46:00.000-07:00

Pot of Coffee is on...
...and as I promised today, I'll be bring back my AbFab Fridays but that will have to wait till after I get back from the gym! I wanted to say I'm So Excited, the 2008 Olympics start Today!!! My Favorite sport to watch with out a doubt is gymnastics, Gymnastics Rhythmic!!! I LOVE the awe inspiring way these girls move their bodies! The combination of dance (ballet), gymnastics and the use of an apparatus: the clubs, a ribbon, a rope, a hoop, and a ball.

If your not familiar with this sport you should first check out (by way of google or you tube) Alina Kabaeva of Russia , pictured above!!!
My favorite to watch this year is Anna Bessonova!!!
Here's a Beautiful Montage of Rhythmic Gymnastics~

I'm also Proud to say that my 19 mo old, Salem,

can start training for this sport at 2yo! From birth we noticed how amazingly flexible (just like her mom) she is and it also helps that she just happens to be half Russian ;)
The reason why I'm So Super Excited is that there just HAPPENS to be, a center for Rhythmic Gymnastics here in my home town of Plano!
TRGym or Texas Rhythmic Gymnastics club, which is lead by head coach and three times National Champion Tatiana Kartseva!!!
I can hardly wit till January ;)

Now on a second note, I have just completed 2 NEW items for my shop, Cravings Jars! I can not wait to share these sweet little creations with you but that will have to wait till I get back from the gym! just wanted to give a little bit of a preview of whats to come...I haven't put any new items in my shop for a long while!
I've been working away though!!! I have some Beautiful Vintage and Retro pillowcases dresses to come, along with mini beauty boxes, sweet little buckets that will come filled with items for a baby shower and a girl's birthday! I also have a new petite baby shower corsage/mum, done in soft yellow and green, more wedding items and these pretty little boxes that can be used to hold your wedding rings in on your wedding day!!!
I'm also in the process of getting a new banner for my shop, I applied for EWT~Etsy Wedding Team!!!
I'm so Excited!!! Now off to the gym... ;)

Update

2008-08-02T17:32:00.000-07:00

Can we say, Exhaustion!!! LoL...This last month has been pure chaos!
To update ya'll on the goings on in my Life, we have been living in a rental home with a landlord for a nightmare! It has been like pulling teeth to get him to fix anything! We finally had to call the city, file a complaint and then decided not to pay rent, which landed us in court, facing an eviction!
The city forced the landlord's hand to fix (so far most) of the problems, we paid the late rent and will be moving the end of August!
This is the 2nd house we've leased in the past 4 years that we have had landlords from Hell!
This is why I really haven't felt like doing much of anything! But with some of the dust settling, I'm ready to get back in the saddle and do this thing! I've so missed blogging, crafting, networking and socializing with my fellow crafters ♥
I'll be bring back my AbFab Fridays starting 8/8/08...hummm maybe that's a sign of some sort ;)

On a Super Sweet Note!!! I've been accepted to open shop in a new web store called, Lollishops...owned and created by Sadie Lou, former leader of the CSST!
Oh I'm sooooo superrrrr excited to be a part this venture....exciting things to come ya'll!!!

Okay, the natives are getting restless...off to make dinner, bath and then bed time for my little ones! I'll be back later tonight :)

Thanks for stopping by~smiles, hugs & ♥!!!

Thank You!!!

2008-07-10T21:26:00.000-07:00

Stevie's Summer 2008

2008-05-31T09:33:00.000-07:00

June 9th EtsyBloggers Team Blog Carnival!
I choose to write about my upcoming Summer! It looks to be a lot of Fun...
Yes, gas prices are sickening but living in Texas, there's plenty to do with out driving to far!
One of the staples of my Summer Time Fun, is going camping/tubing down the Guadalupe River In New Braunfels, Tx....ahhh the Beautiful Hill Country!

I've been going on these trips since I was 21 years old, though I've missed the last couple of years due to having babies ;), so I've been waiting for this road trip for ever and a day!!!

This year is going to be really neat because my oldest is now of age, where she can go down there with me and have a good time and my SO has never done anything like this-he's a newbie! As always it wouldn't be the same if my Best-ie didn't go...and we're rounding up some others to go this year too!

This is our ritual~When get get down there (we aways stay @ White Water Sports), we set up camp that evening, just eat, drink, hang out for awhile with other campers in the park and then off to bed. The next morning it's up bright and early. Maybe we cook breakfast or maybe we just decide to have breakfast at on of the local dives. Then it's off to get our stuff together, swimsuits on and go rent our tubes! Then it's time to get into the river and let me tell you, that water is freezing a** cold ;)!!!

The trips down the river run anywhere between 2 to 6 hours, depending on how adventurous you're feeling! This is were the FUN FUN FUN starts! Meeting new people, drinking, the rapids, lazy river time and lots of sun!

Once the trip down the river is over, you're shuttled back to your camp site. We hit the showers and get ready for dinner, and then Par-tay time! More hanging out, drinking, making s'mores and walking around the camp grounds, talking it up with folks!

The next day is about the same, though we my opt to do a raft instead!
We'll be going this 4th of July but since it falls on a Friday, we'll be leaving Thursday night & coming back Sunday!
If you've never been tubing before, you just don't know what you're missing ;)!!!
Happy Summer 2008
bummer, while writing this i found out that white water sports is no longer...they've been bought out and the land is a now a venue for music :(

Four Seasons Fragrance
Let me just say, I have Not tried these fragrances But if their profile scent descriptions are any indication...then I don't need to have had smelled these wonderful scents to know how Delicious they are...Example scent description: "SUMMER-June: TENDER SUMMER
fresh and sparkling this musky floral starts with notes of lemon and Italian bergamot essential oil sweetened with raspberry and peach reaching a classic feminine floral blend of rose, jasmine and orange blossom. Cedarwood leads to the climax of breathtaking white musk. Sexy, clean and softly feminine." YUMMY!!!

I started school back in August of 2006 and was suppose to graduate before the birth of my daughter in mid January but she came a bit early! I went back in April (3months after the baby was born) and ended up finishing May12 (my mom's birthday :D). But then my oldest daughter was hit by a car and was unable to walk for 6months, so taking my State Board Exams got put on the back burner!
So here we are a little over a year later and I've taken both my exams~a written test & a practical; which was today! Passed both~81 on my written & 97 on my practical!
HIP HIP HOORAY!!! :D
